Psychos in Love

Ok, PSYCHOS IN LOVE is pure unadulterated silliness from start to finish. Not a moment of it is to be taken seriously and anyone who does take it seriously should seriously have their head examined. It plays out very much like a poor man's Troma film (if that's possible!) replete with lots of unconvincing gore and T & a shots. The two lead actors are a hoot and do their job very well. I especially liked Kate's character and how they made her up to look like Molly Ringwald. Plot is fairly simple: Two mad slashers meet, find they share a similar hatred for grapes (!!) and before you know it, they're headed for the altar! Amidst the romancing and killing, a cannibal plumber named Herman is on the loose. The sub-plot involving the cannibalistic plumber doesn't go far but then, you aren't watching PSYCHOS IN LOVE for depth and characterization. Herman comes to fix the psychopathic newlyweds sink, finds out they are killers, blackmails them and then. I had a fun time watching this thing. The jokes are extremely dark and subtle, and are almost always dead on. A real gem in a long line of slapstick comedy-horror. Recommended for connoisseurs of all things cheap and stupid.

While it's far from a good movie, and it doesn't have anything to do with real horror other than giving homage to it, "Psychos in Love" is self aware comedy about two psychos who fall in love because of their hate for grapes and love for killing. Given the theme, I think this movie can't be better in it's portrayal. There are constant breaking's of the fourth wall and dumb gags which fit perfectly with the cast who obviously enjoyed making the movie. There is also a lot of blood and boobs. With that in mind, it's obvious that the movie is doomed to forever remain a mediocre one, because story is pretty much just series of gags and killings. And as much as that can be fun and interesting, it screams for a better story and even more humorous scenes. Still, if all this sounds cool, it's a good fun and a perfect movie for a date night with you nicer horror movie loving half. I give it 6.5./10! It's fun and deserves to be seen by every horror movie fan at least once in their lifetime.

Okay, maybe I'm biased. I've seen my other films and other than a few pleasant memories with the people involved, there wasn't much to remember. PSYCHOS, still, to this day, makes me laugh. For those who disliked it - well you just don't get it, do you? You need to know the movie references and also have a sense of humor. And a hat. I can hardly wait for the DVD release that is supposed to have lots of extras. I appreciate all the fan mail that I get and it's amazing what fans consider their favorite parts. Scary, ain't it? OK. The acting was bad, the script was practically rewritten on the set and the effects seemed amateurish - but this movie makes people laugh. That's what we set out to do. I liked it. It's no PHANTOM MENACE - whoops - CITIZEN KANE, I mean, but it doesn't pretend to be. However, I like to pretend I'm Orson Welles and eat fish sticks. But that's another movie.

Pure genius. I can't recommend this film enough. Rent this movie and start laughing. A film about 2 serial killers that fall in love. The soundtrack was done on a Casio and the acting is amateur. This is what B movies are all about.

Psychos in Love is one of those fun low-calorie movies made for people who love b-movies. The fun part is watching the two leads interact with each other, as they definitely have chemistry together. If you don't like one joke, wait a few seconds, and another will come along. Wasn't made as a think-piece, obviously, and it wasn't made to dazzle anyone with it's technical brilliance. It is what it is, a silly comedy with some outstanding moments.
